Abstract :
We present a new fully sequential procedure for selecting the best among a finite number of simulated systems. While many fully sequential selection procedures make a decision based on pairwise comparison, the new procedure compares systems in a group of three and uses some properties of a bivariate Brownian motion process exiting a circle or an ellipse for its derivation.
